A Forum Banner Drives Me Crazy

zobraks · 05-19-2011, 08:53 AM

Don't know how the other forum members feel about it, but if that broad sticks her tongue at me one more time, I'm gonna explode!

Boom!

Haha. It is... animated. But at least it's a banner for an adventure game and not online dating or something.

It's comforting to know that

What forum banner?? This is the first time I've seen your tongue-lady.

rayvio · 05-22-2011, 03:34 AM

can't say I recognise it either, it's usually Edna & Harvey or Black Mirror 3

You lucky bastards!

That's some Liz Allaire

, from the game I already (undeservedly?) hate

banner, I guess.
It's animated, and Miss Allaire jumps at you (sticking her tongue between your eyes) every time you open a forum page.

you realise half the forum's going to make that their avatar now just to wind you up?

Yes, I do. Unfortunately.

This forum banner is not a threat for me any more - I found an antidote (

personally I just use adblock, but I tend not to block the banners here as they're usually about games and sometimes ones I haven't heard of

zobraks · 05-23-2011, 05:32 AM

The other banners at AG are OK, but this one is unbearable, believe me.
If you had ever seen it you would have blocked it too.

3rdFloor · 05-23-2011, 11:41 AM

I find this banner pretty annoying too, especially since it's been all over the site for a good week now. But hey, I applaud the publisher for marketing their game. I wish dtp would have pushed Gray Matter much more than they did.

Never had that one, but I'm getting an ad for "The Rockin' Dead" with an unbelievably unattractive skeleton thingy in it. The whole design is like, well, extremely ugly

*stepurhan* · 05-24-2011, 11:11 PM

So you normally find skeletons attractive then?

zobraks · 05-25-2011, 01:35 AM

Guess what? After blocking flash banners from AG I get only the decent (non-animated) ones

.
That banner-dispatching system is really smart

I don't find it that ugly, but at least that skeleton doesn't jump at you (like abominable 'tongue-lady'

) each time you open a page.
